Very dry conditions continued across northeast portions of Louisiana during September. The dry stretch resulted in a combination of severe (D2) and extreme (D3) drought conditions continuing across northeast Louisiana. Crops were put under more stress from the hot and dry conditions. The likely impact will be less crop yields when harvest arrives in early Fall.

Event Narrative

Rainfall was 3 to 4 inches below normal for much of the parish, resulting in moderate drought conditions by the end of the month.
